The prop may turn on unexpectedly if the switch fails. Prevent injury from a turning propeller and always know how to quickly disengage
the power.
STOWING AND DEPLOYING THE MOTOR
When stowing or deploying the motor, keep fingers clear of all hinge and pivot points and all moving parts. Practice proper ergonomics
when stowing and deploying the motor to prevent injury.
Moving the motor creates a variety of pinch points. The Control Head will create a pinch point if the Depth Adjustment Knob is loosened
and the Control Head slides to the top of the Mounting Bracket. Grasp the Shaft and prevent it from sliding all the way down to prevent
the pinch point. Grasp the motor away from the area that may come in contact with another area of the motor to prevent injury.
When the motor is being transported, on water or land, it is important to place the Motor completely out of water. The Motor should
be positioned up close to the Mounting Bracket. Always secure the Depth Adjustment Knob and slide the collar down to the top of the
Mount for added security during transport. This provides a secure stow and holds the Motor in place during transportation when it is
subject to high levels of shock and vibration. Failure to secure the motor may result in injury or damage to the unit.
